This first time was a trial, testing the willingness of the American people to be blatantly controlled by corrupt politicians and a complicit leftist media.
It’s success assures us it is a tool that will be used, again and again.
Sad indeed.

I think the mistake we made is we watched China have an outbreak like every two years and felt it was just Chinas problem. Without Western Sanitation it couldnt come here. We were terribly wrong. The USAMRIID guys might have had a clue but its like they arent part of Medicine. No doctor has seen those guys since Med School. They go to different meetings, etc. the only one I have met over the decades was a guy I went to the Advanced Course with. And everybody sort of considered them to be seeing bogeymen everywhere. Generally this family has had no clinical significance in the US, ever. Its just been the perfect storm. Now we are seeing surveillance photos of Chinese looking people spreading saliva on doorknobs and such. Their own citizens may have decided to have a private war with the West, who knows. The Rats publicly announced proudly they would attend Trump Rallies as a bioweapon, why wouldnt Chinese privately decide to do the same?

Wholeheartedly agree. And old hothead down below is marveling at how quickly and readily Catholic prelates worldwide eliminated the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass from the lives of the faithful. No talk of restoring same anytime soon either. And only a few bishops are even taking about the abiding need to do that. Astonishing.
